Abstract excerpt

Folate is one of the important constituents of vegetables and fruits that may provide protection against cancer. An important function of folate is to provide methyl groups required for intracellular methylation reactions and de novo deoxynucleoside synthesis. Therefore, folate deficiency has been thought to be carcinogenic through disruption of DNA methylation, synthesis, and repair. However, to serve as the...
